This is a web project for integrating with Carto for geo-visualization. Currently this covers targeting.

If you want to perform development and run this locally, you'll need to perform the following.

• Determine how you want to setup a python application locally, the recommendation is creating a virtualenv or pipenv (https://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) but this can also be done by updating/installing libraries globally.
• Perform a pip install -r requirements.txt to install all python packages/libraries from the root folder that this project is setup

Just run the following command from the root folder:

DEBUG=true python application.py

The above puts the application into debug mode and allows hot reloading (changes get reflected immediately in the rendered page with a refresh of the page.

The app will automatically un on port 8080; however, you can update the port number to another port number if you have conflicts on that port. This can be done by prefixing the running of the webserver with the PORT environment variable.

Example:

PORT=9000 python application.py

The above two environment variables can also be combined:

DEBUG=true PORT=9000 python application.py

This is now a Flask-based Python application using template-based code. The actual source lives in the login.html and the index.html within the templates folder. Most changes should be made to the index.html for new features.

It also requires that you login before you can make changes, the default credentials (not what we use in production) are USERNAME=admin, PASSWORD=thinknear.
